The site of the Skyline Chili Crosstown Classic isn't the only thing that needs to be worked out as the series between UC and Xavier moves forward. According to UC coach Mick Cronin, there are also discussions about when to play the game.

"Maybe playing it early is a disservice to the game before the eyes of the city are really turned to college basketball," Cronin said Thursday. "If we can get national TV to take the game in January where we could both get a break from our conferences, a lot of teams do that. Everything is on the table."
